ABSTRACT:
The invention resides in a process and an apparatus for the revival of nickel-cadmium batteries and cells suffering from low, zero, or negative terminal voltage and unrechargeability. The process revives the cells or batteries by the injection of a short-duration high-magnitude current pulse through them. The apparatus to carry out the process is built around a current source that is operated either manually or by a timer for the required duration.
